Lovely place, nice prices and a fantastic location near Battery Park and the Staten Island Ferry. Drank wine and ate a really good pretzel. This is a place were you can relax and enjoy the moment.
Small, simple beer garden, sort of hidden behind the Ferry Terminal. No waiter service, prices are pretty good. Limited menu for both food and alcohol, no liquor sold at the bar.
Good place to go for after work drinks if you work in FiDi. I wouldn't come out of my way to come here but I would definitely come back on a nice summer night for a glass of wine and to escape the crowds/prices on Stone St!
After spending the morning at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, we were thirsty and hungry. We found The Beer Garden after a quick search on Yelp. It is a no frills kind of place, but if you are looking for a nice place to grab a snack and enjoy some cold beer, then you're in luck.
They have a nice selection of Victory on draft, which is one of our favorite breweries. We ended up ordering a pitcher because it was priced so reasonably. We also ordered a brat and a pretzel. I would skip the pretzel next time, but the brat was fine. Like I said, this a very simple kind of place.
I have a couple of complaints–first, the bartender was pretty rude when I asked her if there was a place I could plug my phone in after seeing tons of open outlets. Second, the restroom had no toliet paper in any of the stalls, not a single square left, and even after I informed the staff, an hour later, there still wasn't any toilet paper. Aside from those two small things, we had a great time at The Beer Garden.
Walking along and need a pit stop? Check out The Beer Garden @ Battery Gardens.
Draft by Victory Brewing, seasonal and some bottles along with a couple wine choices. A hand full of grill items round out this little, outdoor venue with large, shared tables to spend with friends new and old.
There's a better plate almost anywhere near here but if you're here brother, might as well sit down and relax. Take in the sun and talk with a stranger. What the hell, you're already here.
Cool little space to enjoy a brew on a warm day. Seems to attract a lot of tourists, but that's to be expected near Battery Park. One thing for sure though – beers are better and cheaper than the two little outdoor stands just north of the Garden – and you get actual seating.
I'm mixed on what to give this place. Is it in a pretty cool location, yes. Is it nice to have a real (uncovered) open air beer garden in nyc, yes. Are the prices reasonable for a beer, hell yes. So, what's lacking?…
One, if you're out of the taps you're advertising on your chalk board, ERASE THEM! Or, put a sign up that you're out, instead of just pointing to the taps and saying, "this is all we have". Ok, so you have the one I just asked for since the tap is there, but you won't serve it to me, or am I missing something here?..
Anyway, besides Victory brewing not being the most amazing craft beer brewery, I figured i'd try one of their beers I didn't want. I tossed my beer halfway.
I can not attest to the food, but it's a small/simple menu, so how bad could it be. I unfortunately wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if in the area and want to enjoy the weather and a beer, go for it.
So I just want to set the expectation here… This isn't a restaurant or anything like that. It's basically like hanging out in uncle's backyard and having lunch. They have a few beers on tap and two small flattops to cook food on. It's pretty good beer garden food, but nothing that you couldn't do yourself if you found a recipe online.
Thankfully I the people I went there with were a great bunch and really made it a great time… If it were just ms I could see myself not enjoying it, so I'd recommend stopping here with some friends to help you forget how low brow it is lol.
